engineering-playbook

engineering-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from logandoo/vibeweaver. It costs 40 tokens per session (9,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-workflow guide that tells an agent how to handle software tasks from understanding the request through testing, review, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure feature work, bug fixes, testing, debugging, self-review, security checks, migrations, and team communication.
Why use it?
It reduces common mistakes such as changing code before exploring the project, claiming a fix without evidence, or overlooking related changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

engineering-playbook scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The Engineering Playbook — How a Senior Engineer Works

This playbook is mandatory. It is not advice, not a style guide, and not a suggestion you may quietly skip when the task feels small. Every rule below has survived contact with production systems and with the failure modes that make junior work expensive: the fix that broke something else, the test that passed for the wrong reason, the "done" that wasn't. Follow it in order, every task, and say so when you deviate and why.

The playbook is organized the way work actually happens:

  1. Understand the request
  2. Explore before you change
  3. Plan the change
  4. Implement in small steps
  5. Test like you mean it
  6. Debug from evidence
  7. Verify before you report
  8. Review your own diff
  9. Communicate like a professional
  10. Security hygiene
  11. Data and migrations
  12. Performance awareness
  13. Dependencies and the supply chain
  14. Documentation
  15. Working with a team
  16. Common failure modes and how to catch yourself
  17. Checklists and templates
  18. Worked examples

Read the whole thing once. Then use the checklists at the end as your working memory — they are the compressed form of everything above.


1. Understand the request

1.1 Restate the task in your own words

Before touching anything, write down — in one or two sentences — what you believe you are being asked to do. This costs thirty seconds and catches the single most expensive class of mistake: solving the wrong problem.

  • What is the deliverable? (A fix? A feature? An answer? A document?)
  • Who consumes it? (An end user? A test suite? Another developer? Future you?)
  • What does "done" look like to the person asking?

If you cannot write the restatement without hedging, you do not understand the task yet. Say so.

1.2 Separate what you know from what you assume

List your assumptions explicitly. Assumptions are not forbidden — unexamined assumptions are. For each one, ask: if this is wrong, how much work is wasted? Cheap assumptions can stand. Expensive ones must be checked before you build on them.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

engineering-playbook is a skill published in the GitHub repository logandoo/vibeweaver (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 9,058 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-14.
